SKIMMING MILK.

Has it ever occurred to our readers that it is easier to take the milk away from the cream than to skim the cream off the milk ? The former process insures a better result in quantity of unbroken cream, in facility of handling, and in saving of time. To take the milk from the cream requires the pans to be made smaller at the bottom than at the top, and to have a hole made in the bottom, with a piece of zinc pipe, an inch or two long, soldered on, of such a diameter that a common-sized cork would fit*to it. The pans may rest on frames* or small stands, elevated from the floor a sufficient heighth to admit of placing skim milk cans underneath. This process is simple, effective, and worthy of a trial.—American Cultivator.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —Ilheumalism, Neuralgia.—lt is sometimes difficult to determine which of these diseases is afflicting the sufferer, but such uncertainly is immaterial if Holloway’s remedies be used. They alleviate and euro all muscular and nervous pains. In hcrcdilaiy rheumatism, after bathing the affected parts with warm salt water, wf “Solloway’s Ointment should be well W rubbed upon the spot, that it may penef trate and exert its soothing and regulating ' properties on the deeper vessels and nerves which being unduly excited, cause both pain and swelling. Holloway’s treatment lias the merit of removing the disease without debilitating the constitution, which was the inevitable result of the bleeding, mercury, and colchicum practice formerly adopted,in these complaints.
